Well, my blog has been feeling some neglect as my summer research projects have been winding up. Sadly, my knitting has fallen by the wayside, too. But that doesn't mean I don't have pretty things to share!
Over the last few weeks I have been organizing my handmade jewelry so I can begin to list it on my etsy site. Please, please visit it! The url is: www.natalies.etsy.com. Here's a preview:
So, although I don't have much knitting to share, I have been expressing my artistic thoughts in other forms. And though my blog hasn't been seeing much of my writing, I did submit one article for publication about a month ago, and today my advisor and I sent off our book chapter (where the majority of my summer went!) to the editor. I am off to San Diego to present at a conference this coming weekend, and in 2 more weeks J and I are heading to San Francisco for my other conference, and a vacation. I also got approval to being data collection on my other project this week, so it is nice to feel like things are coming together a bit. I am looking forward to being done with the conferences so I have a bit of time to sit, knit, and relax... just for a few days, then back to school. But it's all good, I'm looking forward to it :) and I am starting to miss my sweater knitting, so the break was useful.
Also, I saw a preview for the upcoming Interweave Knits, and Oh my oh my, I can't wait to get mine. SO MANY good sweaters, I'm not sure how I'll choose which will be next...
